Hi all, I have a 78 sedan and my brother has a 73 van, we have both put new cones all round in them, my problem is my sedan sits a good 1"-11/2" higher in the front than his does and its basically got me stuffed why,even with worn cones its still higher than his with new ones, any thoughts or help would be appreciated

Top of the control arms flogged out on the one sitting low. Some one done a patch job on the control arms - ie metal paste and the cups sitting high. Or there is one of spacing washers between the trumpet and ball?

Maybe the rubber cone the trumpet sits in is upside down?
